Pro Tip: If you use public transportation to get here, be sure to rent a car upon arrival since there is really no other way to get around. Because the bus is usually cheaper but takes longer, while the train is usually faster but more expensive. It all just depends on what is more important to you, time or money. Otherwise, the bus is always a super easy option since Greyhound/Adirondack Trailways buses travel here directly from Port Authority.īoth are great options. Once here, it’s about a 20-minute drive to Lake George. Besides, you’ll definitely need a car while you’re here so you can either drive yourself or rent one upon arrival this winter in Lake George.Īlternatively, you could take an Amtrak train from Penn Station/Albany to Fort Edward station. It’s a really easy drive and there is only heavy traffic on holiday weekends and throughout the busy summer months. Therefore, if you want to experience the full-on awesomeness of Lake George in winter for yourself, hop on the New York Thruway (I-87 N) and get off at exit 22.įrom here, take Route 9 into Lake George Village proper, which is about an hour north of Albany and 1.5 hours south of Lake Placid. It’s also pretty well developed throughout the Lake George Village, although, it gets infinitely less populated as you move north to the middle and upper sections of the lake. Tucked away along the Southern edge of the Adirondack Park, Lake George is a giant, 32-mile lake that begins at Lake George Village and ends at Ticonderoga.
